[OpenAFS] Writing allowed where it's not expected

Hi,

I currently observe a strange behavior where I can write to a volume
although I am on a read-only path, like:

% pwd
/afs
% fs lsm altum.de
'altum.de' is a mount point for volume '#altum.de:root.cell'
% fs lsm .altum.de
'.altum.de' is a mount point for volume '%altum.de:root.cell'
% cd altum.de     
% fs lsm sw
'sw' is a mount point for volume '#sw'
% vos listvol rohan a |grep sw
sw                                536871302 RW          4 K On-line
sw.readonly                       536871303 RO          3 K On-line
% ll sw/foo
zsh: no such file or directory: sw/foo
% touch sw/foo
% ll -g -n sw/foo             
-rw------- 1 100 0 2011-09-17 11:14 sw/foo

Shouldn't the write operation be prevented, since I am on a read-only
path?

Bye...
